6-2. Using the safe driving support functions
Safe Exit Assist
The safe exit assist (with door open-
ing control) is a system that uses
rear side radar sensors installed on
the inner side of the rear bumper to
help occupants judge if an
approaching vehicle or bicycle may
collide with a door when exiting or
cancel opening of a door, to help
reduce the possibility of a collision.
WARNING
Cautions regarding the use of the sys-
■
tem
The driver is solely responsible for safe
●
driving. Always drive safely, taking
care to observe your surroundings.
●
The safe exit assist is a supplementary
system that, when the vehicle is
stopped, informs occupants of the
existence of approaching vehicles and
bicycles. As this system alone cannot
be used to judge safety, over-reliance
on this system may lead to an accident
resulting in death or serious injury.
In certain situations, this system may not
function to its fullest extent. Therefore it is
necessary for the occupants to visually
check for safety directly and using the
mirrors.
